BOLD AUDITION
Submitted by: K.
London, EnglandI must admit that after reading The Secret, I was a bit dubious, but thought I would try it out with small things such as wanting someone to call me or not missing my train. Then, still not totally convinced that these weren’t just coincidence, I thought I would try for something bigger.
My agent phoned to tell me about a casting call for a female dancer to be in a commercial. She wanted to send me for the job, but – and this was a big BUT – they wanted a white blonde. I’m black, so I was wondering why she had bothered, but I said I would go anyway.
Not really thinking about it much (you tend not to because it’s so disappointing when you don’t get a job), I went to the audition. Everyone there was white, and while I was sitting there, I realized I really, really wanted the job. So here was the perfect opportunity to see if The Secret worked! I started to imagine getting it and seeing my face on TV, people calling me to congratulate me, and this job leading to other jobs.
When it was my turn to see the casting director, I felt totally confident. I danced my little heart out and left!
I was thinking about the job all the way home, and when I arrived, I wrote the name of the product on a Post-it and stuck it on my wardrobe. I kept envisioning getting the job and how I would react when I was told the news.
The next day while I was on a different job, I got a call from my agent. “I have some good news – ” She didn’t even have to complete the sentence. I knew why she was calling. I GOT THE JOB!!!! I was ecstatic. Even though I’d told myself the job was mine, it was still so amazing when I was told.
Now I know that I can be more ambitious and really be in control of my future. That’s so exciting.
